The radiometer type implemented is a noise balancing / noise injecting type of
radiometer and includes all other additional functions necessary for a radiometer.
These are, for example, the antenna control functionality for azimuth and elevation
control of the radiometer antenna. By this means, also an automatic tip curve
calibration is possible as well as automatic calibration with a cold load that is controlled
via the radiometer controller. The complete high precision tempertaure control
of the feed box inclduing the microwave and IF receiving system is performed via
the software of the radiomter controller.

Customers can upgrade their existing radiometers with this controller in an easy
way. It does not matter for which receiving frequency (for example 13,5GHz,
22GHz or 60GHz) the radiometer is built, as this controller interfaces on IF and
control level to the radiometer frontend. That ist why the existing waveguide sections can
be kept as they are.

The core of a radiometer is composed of two new modules of the sat-nms product family.
On the one hand of the sat-nms RMC Radiometer Controller and on the other hand the sat-nms RMD Radiometer Detector
Modules. These modules are developed and manufactured by SatService GmbH.

Features

Noise balancing/adding radiometer type

High gain stability

Receive frequency independent

Univerdsal design

Wide IF frequency inputrange

Compact, small DIN rail compatible box

TCP/IP based design

HTTP web browser interface

Integrated FTP server

Full remote administration and support capability

One additional key feature of this radiometer controller, like in any other equipment
belonging to the sat-nms family, is its full web- and ftp-server
capability. It provides an Ethernet TCP/IP interface and includes a compact
flash of 2GB for data logging purposes.

All measurement results and the monitoring parameter are available via HTTP web
interface and via internal web server and can be monitord and controlled from a
remote IOT software either via http get functions or via RS232 interface.
